“The true name of
Satan, the Kabalists say, is that of Yahveh reversed; for Satan is not a
black God, but the negation of God. The Devil is the personification of
Atheism or Idolatry. For the Initiates, this is not a person, but a force,
created for good, but which may serve for evil. It is the instrument of
Liberty or free will. They represent this Force, which presides over the
physical generation, under the mythologic and horned form of the God Pan;
thence the he-goat of the Sabbat, brother of the Ancient Serpent, and the
light bearer or Phosphor, of which the poets have made the false Lucifer
of the legend.”
- Albert Pike “Morals and Dogma“ Ancient and Accepted Rite of Free
Masonry written and published in 1871. Plagiarized from Eliphas Levi's "History
of Magic" published in 1860.

"Hate
those that earn it, as you would love those that earn it, As Above, so
below."
When the world is viewed with no set reality, the lies of society are
revealed and the bonds of slavery, broken."

Welcome
to The Sinagogue of Satan founded on 1-29-99. A religion
based on the Ancient and Accepted Rite of Free Masonry’s
definition of Satanism, as described in Albert Pike’s
work
“Morals and Dogma“, from which the paragraph
at the top of this page was taken. This religion is not
based on those of the popular Satanists of our day, Hollywood
or Christian propaganda, except for Aleister Crowley.
His connection with the Freemasons and the fact we took
our name from a short story in his book Konx
om Pax,
called “Thien Tao; or, The
Synagogue of Satan.” Cannot be denied nor can
we deny being a by-product of the Thelemic family.

As members you have the right to believe
in whatever you like as long as you don’t push your beliefs on others.
The aim of this religion is the ultimate destruction of religions through
the advancement of individual freedom and social responsibility. The
philosophy of SoS undermines all existing religions including our own.
Thus the SoS Philosophy is based on a paradox, much like the Tao.

By not having any set reality or belief
you are not trapped by their rules, and are free to start making your own.
This is freedom, the breaking away from the status quo, much like when
Satan broke ranks from God and became the first revolutionist. It’s
funny how governments promote god worship when most modern governments owe
their existence to Freemasonry and revolution, the dream of freedom, the
spirit of Satan. It’s no wonder governments and religions, actively
partake in propaganda against Satanism for they truly fear being
overthrown. As for America, Satanism is Americanism, for America supports
freedom of religion in the same Masonic context that SoS does. Though
certain religions in America attempt to combat this, our wonderful
constitution, (written by Freemasons) prevents them from achieving their
goals. Enslavement in any form religious or otherwise is un-American.
Therefore I declare any and all religious groups that do not support
freedom of religion, un-American. Also certain fads or movements that
harass people for their personal choices such as hairstyle, piercing, sex,
tattoos, music and much more are also un-American. Yes SoS reaches far
past the United States boarders. And no, unlike my government, I’m not
trying spread the American culture to other countries. But I am trying to
spread the Light of Phosphor, the light of freedom throughout the world.

I obtained legal recognition for this
mass manipulation scheme From the State of California and The Federal
government of the United States of America, by utilizing my authority as
an Ordained Minister of Universal Life Church Ministries (U.L.C.M).
U.L.C.M., the Unitarians and the new Satanic unity movement, accept most
faiths, but are predominately Christian or stylized Satanist in nature and
actually exist to enslave you.

As you can clearly see, I learned a
little bit from their game and used it to turn the tide in Satan's favor.
Rather in your favor as consumers of prepackaged mail-order
religions/realities. You can see although we are predominately Satanic/Thelemic/Masonic
in nature SoS accepts all Religious Beliefs, Styles, Races, Cultures,
Ideologies, Nationalities, Sexuality's etc. etc. As long as those that
wish to join accept the premise that each individual has the undeniable
right to his or her choice of reality no matter what you're personal
religion or choice dictates. We do not try to sway you into accepting
Atheism, Freemasonry, Satanism, or Thelemism, for that is not our aim or
goal. Our aim and goal is freedom as it always will be.

We offer a system to surf
realities/beliefs, as you will, without being engulfed, submersed,
suppressed, or subservient to any of them including ours. We are a “Free”
Church in all the possible definitions of the word. And freedom is only
found in the mind, for the physical world and its systems, such as society
bind us. With freedom comes a great responsibility to our neighbors in
this society. For as seen so many times, one mans freedom becomes another
mans slavery.

As Members of SoS I ask you to view
reality/beliefs as the unalienable right of every one. But I do support
your full-blown assaults on those that would infringe upon your rights, as
long as you execute your attacks in a legal and productive manner. (We do
not turn the other Cheek, unless it’s to buy time to smite with
discretion). Hopefully by your mannerisms, diplomacy and actions more
people might see that freedom is not evil and people can be socially
responsible without a threat of hell, jail or ostracism. Please do
remember it is their right to live and die in a fairy tale just as it is
your right to live and die, as you will. Besides, tolerance is not
acceptance, you don't have to like someone or thing to tolerate them or
it.

Now, one last thing, we ask you to abide
by the laws of your countries and local governments as they pertain to you
and to take an active role in changing them as you feel is needed.

 “Tune in, Turn on,
Take over!” {Revised Timothy Leary saying}

 “Tune in.” Learn
about your political system and environment.

 “Turn on.” Learn
to use the system and your understanding of the environment involved.

 “Take over.”
Manipulate and change the system and environment as needed for social
advancement and freedom.

SoS has ambassador and priesthood
positions. These are reserved for SoS members that accept the SoS religion
as well with their own personal belief system. Members of other beliefs
are not allowed this privilege, for they can obtain such status through
other groups. Ambassadors and priest/priestess positions exist to serve
the members, not to be served by them. For more information on these
positions see: "Structure / Goals and more".

SoS exists to give subcultures and
minority religions a legal connection to their beliefs that can be used in
a court of law if the need arises. Such as housing, job discrimination and
harassment. And insuring religious rights while in the military services.
SoS is also known as "The Hermit Path". We exist for all the
people in this world that enjoy their independence in all aspects of life.
Until now this vast number of individuals lacked a legal connection to
their religious rights. Governments and societies ignore the needs of the
individual and cater only to mainstream groups they find acceptable for
the society. By creating this religion I have forged a path that all may
tread, thus giving the once voiceless a voice and the once weak, strength
in numbers. SoS is not affiliated with any other satanic groups and is not
bound by any other group's authority. We do however have a close
relationship with the E.G.C. within Ordo Templi Orientis, They were kind
enough to grant us the right to use and adapt E.G.C. rituals for SoS needs
and for this I'm eternally grateful, for we are the only satanic group to
have a connection with an order of antiquity and Freemasonry. Yes I am an
inactive O.T.O. member and they still have my love, respect and support,
but my view of the world cannot be restricted by any one system, therefore
I am a hermit.

SoS is for free thinking independent
people. If you prefer a more closed-minded, stringent reality than SoS,
our religion is probably not for you and I ask you please refrain from
joining. SoS makes no claims as far as the "True Satanic path"
or any "True Way". I created this religion for people to think
and grow for themselves and at their own pace with the power of like
minded people to support them. We make no claims of superiority nor do we
war with other groups, unless it‘s a case of defense. Never in the
history of man has there ever been an organized religion set up in this
manner. All our predecessors have bound their members in some way or
another. "The Word of Sin is Restriction." Therefore we
do not demand our members uphold any system or belief.

In the Members section you will find the
SoS holy book, “Liber Of The Goat”. This work is not mandatory
to accept, unless you apply for ambassador or priesthood status in the SoS.
It is merely offered to our members as an alternative holy book and is
owned by SoS and no others. We are not trying to create a church of unity;
we merely support the rights of diversity and of the individual to achieve
freedom. Unity implies a code or system to maintain the peace. Cooperation
between diverse realities is not unity but fraternity. SoS is not a
utopian movement in any way shape or form. I cannot stress this point
enough.

SoS also contains a very broad and
diverse resource and link section. Though many organizations are on our
link list, we affiliate with none of them. We are autonomous and show no
loyalty to anyone but ourselves. We do support and accept all religions
right to exist but we do not entangle our freedom in the politics, ethics
and actions of other groups. SoS has many features such as a free email
service, message boards, online store, member's area and a chat line. Our
members are worldwide so our chat room attendance varies due to time
zones. I try to visit and give people my time and classes as my time
allows.

We have no central temple or lodge. Our
priests/priestesses and ambassadors often hold meetings and classes in
their homes and online. Please be respectful guests for none of us accept
money for our time and services this is also new as far as religions go.
Our work and attendance is a “Labor Of Love” not monitory advancement.
Since our birth on 1-29-99 we have received many attacks by other groups
but we do not retaliate too much and when we do it’s usually with
Satanic humor. For we understand that our system is a threat to all
current systems of beliefs. We do not wish to threaten any other belief
but we do wish to finally have in our possession a “Free Church For A
Change!”

to you all, “Hail the World, Hail America, Hail Satan!”

Questions and Answers

Statement:
"Hey man you spelled Synagogue wrong."Reply: We spell it Sinagogue because we wanted to capture the word sin, and didn't want a connection with previous terms, like church, circle, lodge, order, oasis, shrine, society, synagogue, temple etc. We wanted a new religious name for a new religion. Call it poetic license if you will. To top it off, it’s not offensive to the Jewish population or my grandparents.

Question:
"What do you mean you formed this church out of necessity?"
Answer: I have joined a lot, a lot, a shit load, of religious groups that preached
freedom of individuality. But after I met my new friends I found something
quite familiar.

 The usual group ego
that either absorbs destroys or expels those strong in their will.

 Ego food for some
narcissist or megalomaniac.

 Money scam, the higher
you get to the top the more it costs you, or just the outright give us
your property.

 The control freak
scenario of anti occult propaganda, which by the way is the exact
opposite of what those groups claimed they were about. The writings of
the creators of the beliefs were quite different than those in
practice. So after becoming disgusted with my pursuit for a religion
that promotes freedom of the individual I became a legal minister and
created one.

Statement: "You're stupid! You should use the tax-exempt status and live off these idiots!"Reply: That's what all the religions have been doing since the dawn of history. I wanted to make a new religion not another old one. A religion by the members for the members and each and every member, a respected individual and participant with the unalienable right to their personnel reality or belief.

Question:
"Why Satanist?"Answer: Satan was the first revolutionist. Therefore, Satan as defined in morals
and dogma, is the perfect figurehead for a revolutionary religion. His act
of rebellion was the first allegory of freedom. So I use his image as the
symbolic representation of our aims and goals.

Statement: "Anton LaVey created
and defined Satanism in the 60's. Satanism did not exist before then."Answer: Satanism did exist before then, OK not Anton's Satanism but
another far older form as you will see now.
Jules Bois "La Satanisme et la Magie" published 1895 Bois declares that
there are three Satans: the Satan of the poor dispossed who turn to him
for consolation; the Satan worshiped for perverse pleasure by depraved and
rich people; and finally, the Satan of the dilettantes who are drawn away
from true religion by an intellctual interset in mysticism. He defines
Satanism as anything that departs from the worship of One God. [this was
taken from Chapter 18 "Satanists and Anti-Satanists" Eliphas Levi and the
French Occult Revival. Thus, the whole "Satanism did not exist" until
LaVey invented it is merely the propaganda engine of a philosophy based on
an objective reality, as you can see now through our subjective reality.
This form of attempted control of reality is the same trick religions have
been using for centuries including killing people for saying the world is
round.
My co-founder and I wanted to make a new religion, not another old one,
and as you can see, we achieved our goal.
